At Alternatives For Girls, our mission is to help homeless and high-risk girls and young women avoid violence, teen pregnancy, and exploitation, and to help them to explore and access the support, resources, and opportunities necessary to be safe, to grow strong, and to make positive choices in their lives.

Flexible work environment

Work-life balance

Ability to start accruing up to five weeks off after only six months of employment (and we encourage you to use it!)

Emphasis on staff development

Highly competitive benefits packages
